Most of us are stuck at home practicing social distancing (or shall we say, SEWcial distancing), so why not make the most of it? This week our National Educator went LIVE on the Shannon Fabrics Facebook page for another Sew Together Tuesday two-day mini-series, where she shared her tips and tricks for creating an irresistibly-cute Bambino Cuddle® strip quilt.

Don't worry, it's easier than it looks!

What is a Bambino Cuddle® Kit?

This darling quilt includes pre-cut, preselected fabrics to make sewing a strip quilt as easy as possible. Bambino Cuddle® Kit Ear for You Snow features our Mama & Me Digital Cuddle® Snow print with mama elephants and baby elephants meandering through rainbows, stars and moons (and cute little birds are along for the ride, too), and will quickly be an inseparable nap-time companion for any little baby boy or girl.

Our Snow variation also includes Luxe Cuddle® Marble Saltwater for the top and backing, Luxe Cuddle® Hide Banana for the top, and Luxe Cuddle® Fawn Silver for the binding. This Bambino Cuddle® kit is approximately 28” by 37” when finished and includes a pattern and strips for the quilt top, backing and binding.

Also note that while “Bambino” is the pattern we use for the kit, the fabrics can be swapped out depending on the look and feel you’re going for personally.
